Who's Macro?

Who’s Macro?

"Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David.

But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. ⁸

Your servant is here among the people you have chosen,

a great people, too numerous to count or number. ⁹

So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.

For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"

(1 Kings 3vs 7-10)

Please do not take this post as a political piece but I am feeling a lot like my life is out of control. Not the daily issues but in computer terms it seems my macro is not what I would like. I guess I am looking for the land of milk and honey, the golden years or to live happily ever after. We are trained to look for that in all those books our mom’s read to us when we were growing up.

            My macro issues are with what I call the new world economy and what I see happening in the world with terrorists and religious zealots. I feel quite helpless and it seems that my friends feel the same way. We all want to end war, be at peace, reduce taxes and live happily ever after. That is the challenge.

            The solution to the issue is that I need to focus on the correct Macro; the spirit of our Christian Faith as opposed to the Government or World macro. The politicians around the world certainly have changed things with the new world economy and making war. They have not impacted the words of the Lord- The real Macro was written by Paul.

 ^“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law ….Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. (Galatians 5 vs. 22 & 24)

Thought for Today: We need to focus on our daily lives for survival, there is no truer fact. With that said, this week let’s do what we need to do to survive but keep Paul’s letters and the word of our Lord in our daily lives. It will fit in if we let it.

Prayer for Today: Dear Lord, today we pray for our world and country. We pray that we can find a way back to Jesus word and Paul’s macro.

Amen
